This was the first pic I ever took with auto being in auto mode

How southern in Illinois are you? I'm kinda central and across the river.

Your daylily is too blue and rather dark and flat. Here's a correction for color, brightness and contrast.

That's a good shot.

Nice shot, it is sharp and I like the colours, particularly after Ysarex's edit.. My only comment would be that the crop is too tight. I would suggest you either "crop" in on the central part of the flower, or give it some room around the edges to "breathe" a bit. I would also move just a bit off centre to the right to conform more with the "rule of thirds" guideline for composition.

I did not crop the photo at all I just zoomed in too far

Oh sure -- southern Ill fishing country -- Rend Lake. I'm very fond of the Shawnee forest just under you. I hang out there a lot.

It's a nice shot, and with Ysarex's edit and Western's advice worth a retake.

Some folks still consider this (zooming in) a form of cropping, except you did when taking the image, rather than in post-processing.
